This study summarises research undertaken to estimate the potential to achieve a municipal recycling rate of 65%.

In this webinar, Cathy Cook from LWARB joins WRAP’s Debbie Slater to talk about the topic of HMOs.

An overview of the work carried out by WRAP and their partners on the recyclability of detectable black plastic and the impact this material has on the supply chain.

• Practical guides developed with industry.
• Help plan and undertake field measurements.
• Field Record Sheet & Reporting Template to help record measurements.
• Enable growers to identify opportunities to reduce waste and increase marketed yield.

M&S and Oxfam launched the Clothes Exchange Campaign in 2008, which was rebranded as Shwopping in 2012, to make it easier for customers to give their unwanted clothes a second life.

This short report outlines the key findings from a UK representative online survey carried out with UK citizens to inform The UK Plastic Pact citizen engagement strategy, to address gaps in the evidence base and generate new insights about citizens’ attitudes and behaviours in respect of plastic packaging waste.

Following on from our previous webinar with Resource London, in this second session, Gemma Scott, Local Authority Support Manager (Flats) from Resource London and Julia Bragg, from WRAP, introduce practical guidance and a new tool kit to local authorities and housing associations. The tool kit is especially designed to address barriers to recycling in flats.

Gemma Scott, Local Authority Support Manager (Flats) from Resource London and Julia Bragg, Local Authority Technical Consulatant for WRAP, will introduce key learnings from in-depth research into how people manage their waste in flats. This webinar will explore how these learnings can be used in other local authorities, and will share information on the barriers and opportunities that shaped the intervention phase of the flats project.

With the principle of ‘consistency in household recycling’ underpinning many of the proposals in the Government’s Resources & Waste Strategy, this webinar will share some of the key findings from WRAP’s ‘consistency’ support, highlighting how different collection scenarios performed in our studies and, for two-tier authorities, how the costs and benefits might be shared.

New guidance addresses the confusion over compostable plastic packaging giving retailers and manufacturers the tools to make the right decisions when considering using compostable plastic.
